Were they planning on grabbing the guns back before or after they were used to execute Brian Terry?

Seems like the criticism of this operation may be justified.

If anything, Terry's death was probably helpful to their goal of expanding gun control.

It's a dumb strategy considering they won't be able to track those arms when they cross to Mexico, those weapons won't make their way back to USA, Mexico smuggles drugs, USA smuggles military weapons.

Those grenades, machine guns, 50 cal rifles, etc. are going to stay in Mexico, and will be used to kill Mexicans for years.

Allowed? No. Forced.
